Throughout this semester I have been discussing the portrayals and roles of African Americans in the Media. Now that the semester is coming to an end it is only befitting to host a panel discussion that will take place December 2, 2010 at 10am in the Msecenter located at 1230 Raymond Road in Jackson. I am elated to announce that reporter/anchor at WAPT-TV in Jackson, Ms, Stephanie Maxwell will a panelist in our discussion of Blacks in Media!
Maxwell began her career in Mississippi and now co-anchors 16 WAPT News at 5 pm, 6pm and 10pm. Stephanie received an award from the North Carolina Associated Press for an Enterprise/Investigative story about illegal dumping in the Croatan National Forest. In 2007, Stephanie received a Southeast EMMY nomination for Best News Anchor.
Stephanie was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, but considers herself a Georgia Peach and a Tar Heel. She grew up in Atlanta and is a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Stephanie is a member of the Southeast Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, UNC Educational Foundation (Rams Club), National Association of Black Journalists, and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
